Good stuff man! I personally am only a DC guy and its sad to see someone trade away such a beautiful batman book, but all respect to you for building the collection that you like and want.
Always appreciate the feedback my friend. Wasn’t an easy decision but I have to stay on course towards the final goal. I might be back to hunting golden age one day but for now, im happy with how my collection is progressing. Always good to hear from you 🙏🙏
@@ComicsWithBonics No worries brother, all that matters is that you are happy. I see you always making big moves, so I am sure you will come with the golden age strong. If you decide too that is👍
FF5 is an awesome book. Mine is a conserved copy, but boy would I love to get a nice Batman 3. My crazy long term goal is to complete the Batman run, but that’s crazy.
As an investor in comics, that Batman #3 is rare with less than 200 universal CGC census. I would have kept that one as it has a much greater chance of value growing over time. But if you have the mindset of a collector instead, then a trade like this might make sense if these are books that you enjoy more.
The Batman book is definitely more rare. If I decide to go down that rabbit hole again in the future, it would be quite the journey. Thanks for the comment 🍻
Interesting video and decision. As long as you are happy with the deal, then that’s all that really matters but because you asked.. I, personally would not have made that trade (and I don’t collect DC, Golden Age or Batman)! I just know that you will be extremely hard-pressed to ever add that Batman book back. It is scarce, significant and a really nice “sexy” investor-grade copy! Thanks for sharing and best of luck with your collecting goals!
The Batman book is super rare and difficult to tell exactly the value. My guess is that the value of the trade is pretty close with a slight edge to Batman. That being said, i admire your focus on your goal and getting it done!
@@ComicsWithBonics Cool. I sold it about 8-9 years ago in the raw... but it wasn't easy to move. It's hard to sell books that aren't super key or high grade. Plus, people like to talk up the golden age, but I don't know a lot people who actually collect the golden age other than the affluent hard core collectors in the US. So I think trading it for some silvers was a good move.
I like that you are realistic with your goals. It’s ok to let go of good books to get good books. I think you did ok. If you want to let go of any other golden age in a trade let me know.
Hold on to your other golden age books, that’s my thought. Maybe next time you can trade several other silver or Bronze Age keys to acquire the books you want. There’s a reason these GA collectors can’t wait to trade silver age for golden age.
100% the Batman book was better and will most likely go up more in value. Silver age marvel has shown how hyped up it is and I think it still has more to drop.

i dont like that trade, but as long as you do thats all that matters ❤
Appreciate it. Trying to stay focused on the goal is very tough but it only works for me if I stay dedicated and focused. 😅
Never trade away golden age Batman is your goal is price growth
I personally wouldn't have traded but its your collection so good for you!

Nice content do what makes you happy
Oof, I don't know I could have made that trade, but the hobby is yours. You should get what you want for your collection.
Cool either way

Cool video. Nice new books. Nice to have concrete goals. The golden age will be there when you return :-)
Thanks Keston! Hope to return one day. 🍻
Obviously your needs are your needs but I’d have held onto the Batman 3. It presents well too. That FF 5 is nothing to sneeze at though.
I like the trade

I appreciate the comment and feedback. Cheers! 🍻
Just bought a golden age Batman # 13 .. CGC 1.0 for $ 1.000
That Batman is worth $ 13,000 in a CGC 6.0. In a CGC 4.0 it's worth $ 11,000 to 12,000
Replace the periods with commas
Congrats on the classic Marvel Silver Age books - the FF #5 is a beaut. If you trade those GA Caps behind you, let me know 😂
Thank you. I would be open to trading the GA caps if you have some books on my want list. Hit me up on IG when you’re available. 👍
You do you
If they are anything like this Batman, please please pretty please hold on to these books - and don’t be quick to trade them.
The Batman book is super rare and difficult to tell exactly the value. My guess is that the value of the trade is pretty close with a slight edge to Batman. That being said, i admire your focus on your goal and getting it done!
Thanks for the kind words. Agree that both values were really close. Appreciate the encouragement 🙏🙏
Every trade is personal but as long as your happy that’s all that matters
Man I don’t think you should have let that Batman book go for those silver age books. If you’re happy that’s all that matters but wow Batman 3!
Hey, I'm pretty sure that's my old Batman... How long have you had it?
I’ve had it since January of this year. It used to be in a cbcs slab in the same grade.

@@goldeneastgun I 100% agree with this! Thank you for the great insight.

If you want to let go of any other golden age in a trade let me know.
Appreciate your feedback as always Alex! We should definitely talk about a trade 👍
What other golden age Batman do you have ?
That was the only golden age batman in my collection
i would have kept the batman 3. that book is hard to find.

ASM ❤
I like the trade except I’m passing on the lizard. The tanning is really bad. No curb appeal.
That you may sell or trade ?
100% the Batman book was better and will most likely go up more in value. Silver age marvel has shown how hyped up it is and I think it still has more to drop.
Id like to help you with your silver age quest. I have some nice books I’d like to show you.
Let me know if you want to see them.
And good luck !!
Send me a message on IG @comicswithbonics 👍
